It's not the fact he's leaving that's a problem - it's that whether it's now or in five days from now I'll be a scout short for a week while I wait for the advert to complete. Yes I could place a shorter advert but as we know, longer adverts mean more choice/better applicants.
A more pertinent example - for my second team I wanted to upgrade a few of my staff but since I'd maxed out the number, I had to fire one in order to send out adverts when really I should have been able to send out the adverts and then fire only the staff I knew I was going to upgrade.
